A Precise Division of Labor
Commentators highlight a subtle but important detail regarding "the cords of it." While the verse lists items for the outer court, most scholars argue these specific cords belonged to the main tabernacle tent, not the court. This responsibility was given to the Gershonites, while another family handled the court's cords. This shows God's meticulous organization and the specific roles assigned to each family.
